Not only is it coming home. It's coming home with an unsoiled sheet.

Going to be a nail biting cracker this game.
Two nations who have well and truly got their mojo back.

A very tough game and obviously winnable with home advantage but two talented teams let the game be won by talent and not a dire mistake or decision.

We have more than they do but they are capable of an upset.
Should be a cracker

They're a good side. They've only lost to Belgium and Finland since 2018 and the Finland loss was a fluke due to the Eriksen drama. They won at Wembley last time 😲
Let's hope Kasper doesn't have another Wembley masterclass.

Agreed and I've allways said that the Erikson thing will carry them to the final, just hope it's not at Englands expense. Though I thought the danes looked tired mentally and physically earlier so for me England are slight favourites with home advantage. |

Confident we will beat Denmark. No disrespect to the but they started to look jaded today. We looked fresh as little daisies. I’m going 3-1

We've got no chance in this. Football won't be coming home but the players will be going home.

I think they were good enough anyway to get this far but certainly brought them closer together so to speak. Probably the most fancied of the outsiders if you can call them that. They're a good side but England will go into a semi as favourites which is a first |

Our strength in depth is as good as I've ever known.
Foden, Grealish and Rashford have barely played. Sancho only played his first game tonight. We look like we have a togetherness too.

Eusebio was top scorer. |

Denmark are not very special in the first place and before you take in to account the fact that they are shorn of Eriksen and frankly they looked this evening like they are running on empty. England could run up a cricket score in this one. I should add my confidence is further fuelled by the fact that somehow I have got through an entire lifetime without ever having met a Dane  |

Pickford
Shaw
Maguire
Stones
Trippier
Phillips
Rice
Sancho
Sterling
Foden
Kane

Weren't Portugal fancied to win the World Cup by many? They were some side by all accounts. Eusebio was top scorer. They were certainly highly fancied- the nucleus of the side being based on the Benfica team that won the European cups in 61 & 62, and 4 of the team beaten by England played in the 68 final against Manchester United. They had the remarkable comeback against North Korea- 3-0 down and won 5-3. As a footnote England actually won the cup on my 6th Birthday! |

Feel more confident than I did against Croatia in the World Cup, but still need to go out there and play at our absolute best. |

Also at the N Korea game and a couple of others. Decided to get to Portugal games as easier to get tickets and loved Eusebio. said were fantastic to watch. |

I just looked that up and apart from a 3-0 defeat to Slovakia in a friendly that's true. Although in fairness a lot of draws in that time and they have not actually played anyone of note in the last 3 years. Switzerland perhaps their strongest opponents in that time. |

I’d go with Pickford Shaw Maguire Stones Trippier Phillips Rice Sancho Sterling Foden Kane I’d go this but with Walker at right back. Mount was about the only disappointing player tonight I thought. Foden in for him. |

Switzerland perhaps their strongest opponents in that time. they were in Ireland's group previously, saw them and Ireland needed another ball at times. Having said that we did v Andorra . Had a draw in Paris I remember where they played really well. Think they played Croatia as well and beat Germany Good enough team but yep a few Gibraltars etc on the way |

Mount did nowt. True and it rhymes 😂 Walker has been good bar the opening game. One of the best full backs in the world presently. |
